On Saturday night I took the boys to see the Harlem Globetrotters and on the way down somehow the discussion of bullies came into play and Mason started to explain to Cutler that if a bully was to bother him he should take three steps back and tell the teacher and to never confront the bully.  After Mason gave him the standard rules, Cutler made up, or at least I hope he is making it up, a story of a bully at school named Shark.  Mason told him that if the teacher doesn’t take care of him, he will have a word with him the next time he comes to pick up Cutler with me.  These are moments that I dream of happening where Mason shows how much he cares about his brother and is willing to look out for him.  It made me think of one of my favorite pictures and given it is Turn Back Thursday or whatever TBT stands for, I thought I would share.  This was the boys running through the sprinklers at Nana and Papa Herman’s house in July of 2010.  When the boys are at each other’s throats, I try to think back to moments like this to remind me that they do actually love each other.  🙂

And here are a few more of my favorite pictures from that day.
